Desert Beer Rat

I have enjoyed making this one. Was limited in time but got a lot done and ended up with something I really like.

I started with a 40 Columbia I picked up from a forum member.

Had been previously painted with latex, over pitted rust. So I cleaned it up, painted it up and added some personal touches and customizations to make it my own.

Here are the results and picture walkthru.

Great job! It's perfect!

Really like all your custom touches on this one. That rack adapter and the way it's off set is cool. Your seat pad, paint and paint-ina with the 'spicy' rust work topped it off nicely.

And, it hauls beer! What more could you ask for?!

Hotter than a bowl of 5 alarm chili.

Love the patina, glad it went to someone that brought it back to life.

Thanx, now I gotta build me a hauler of some sort...

Love how this turned out. Got the rack angle just right and the ratina job ties it all together. Nicely done.

Love the overall look. The Chain guard & Beer Rack are my favs.
